Abstract: A system for monitoring a modular process plant complex having a plurality of interconnected process modules each of which includes a plurality of interconnected physical control objects. The physical control objects and their interconnections inside a physical process module are displayed together with associated control parameters as stylized control objects on an operator display screen with four different zooming levels: a first zooming level displaying diagrams of aggregated key performance indicators of the plant complex; a second zooming level displaying diagrams of the key performance indicators; a third zooming level displaying process modules associated with a plant area of the second zooming level; and a fourth zooming level displaying one or more physical control objects included in a process module of the third zooming level together with the associated control parameters and interconnections as stylized control objects on the operator screen display.

Abstract: A configuration system and method for process automation configured to access structural process diagrams representing process components. Each process component includes interconnections between process components. Each interconnection represents a physical connection. The system has at least one processor configured to generate corresponding process object instances for process components wherein a particular component type defines at least an interlock property and/or an operating condition.

Abstract: A process module is automatically configured for operation in a plant. During the operation of the process module in a first phase in a first operational environment, operational data that is related to the process module is received by a computer data system. In a second phase, when the process module is connected to a second operational environment, operational data is received again. The computer data system has a reply function that receives and processes a query and provides a response. Processing the query includes processing the operational data that was received during the first and second phases. The process module is then configured by using configuration parameters that are derived from the response.

Abstract: A process module (110) is automatically configured for operation in a plant (B). During the operation of the process INmodule (110) in a first phase (1) in a first operational environment (A), operational data (DATA) that is related to the process module (110) is received by a computer data system (120). In a second phase (2), when the process module (110) is connected to a N second operational environment (B), operational data (DATA) is received again. The computer data system (120) has a reply function that receives and processes a query (Q.) and provides a response (R). Processing comprises to process the operational data (DATA) that was received during in the first and second phases. The process module (110) is then configured by using configuration parameters (150) that are derived from the response (R).
